I miss 2 fora: Suggestions and Headsets

[quad]

I could not find a forum, where I can suggest something, so this post goes here: I miss a forum for headsets I have come to this forum in the hope of getting some info and advice on recording my voice into screen recording software like Camtasia

I know there are far more people in general homerecording, but the future will show still more homeproducers of videos (example: YouTube) and most of us would go the easy way: a headset, either USB or with mini jack, just to plug into the computer. And if you say: This is not good enough, most of us will say: For us and for millions of listener it is good enough.

I use the Elvis microphone to record all of my Youtubes. It's expensive but worth it:

I run that into a custom-built preamp, then an RME ADI-8 DS, then a Steinberg VSL2020. Monitoring goes back out the RME into an Oz Audio HR4 into Sony MDR-7506 cans, although often when I'm doing a Youtube I just monitor through my custom-built mains which are driven by a Miles Tech MPR-450 amp.

I just picked up an ATM75 this afternoon. Battery powered, or phantom powered. Kind of a high S/N, but a friend said he wanted a BIG headset mic, maybe not what he envisioned, but a far cry from those stargate atlantis mini's. I figure that it might come in handy for anything skype or voice recognition. Worst case, I bought that guy a christmas present. Or a prop to make me look more important. As I wonder what type of impression it'd leave if I walked into a job interview wearing it.
